Edit: out of interest, how do you think they are reversing this transaction considering they wouldn't know anything about the person who paid it in? Or are they just going to withdraw it themselves?

If he gives you the money in cash and you take it to the bank and pay it in, how would he even know which bank it was in? If you're worried about him mugging you or something just make sure you have someone with you (preferably someone big and mean looking.)

I think the bank would know if it was Monopoly money (_;)

Yes, after you leave the guy will go back into the bank and say that he changed his mind, can he have his money back from your account.

OP is cautious as to the source of the guys money.

He's worried in case the police recover the money.

I guess im thinking that he may try and pass me off with some fake notes or dodgy money, maybe should have reworded it

I want to pay his money into my account before giving him the item, I'm concerned about him giving me fake money/crime proceed money and it going into my account

If he gives you fake money, and you're at the bank, then they will tell you it's fake.

If you're not happy then don't go through with it.

the reason i am asking is that if it a large amount, say £7,000, the bank will report you or ask you where the money comes from as part of money laundering then you may end up in a long investigation trail.

if it is £3,000 no sweat and the bank won't reverse the credit once the cashier has counted it and accepted it. only way you may lose it if the police got involved and he got the money from crime so the police retrieves the money, but i doubt they would retrieve any money he has already spent, they will probably confiscate what you sold him instead.

Why did you think the bank would let you pay in the cash then work out it was fake at a later date?

Why are you dealing with people you think are going to give you fake money?

Yes its over £7k and also over the mandatory £10k that banks are required to investigate as for the source of the funds...I will be providing a receipt for the goods but I know the person in question doesnt have a job to to represent the size of the transaction

I guess your right about the potential comeback from the police, thanks for replying

There will be a lot of notes to be counted...I'd like to think that cashiers are great at their job but fake notes still go through the banking system every day

Im selling a product and the person in question is paying a premium...when asked to wire transfer the money they insisted on paying in cash...I dont tend to associate with people who have shoe boxes filled with cash so when it comes along Im naturally a bit cautious (_;)

as it is a lot of money, the receipt for the goods will lead the bank to investigate the purchaser who has a lot of cash. it may mean you end up answering a lot of questions.

i would be inclined to leave it and stay out of it, especially as you feel uneasy about it. don't get involved in dodgy areas and dodgy people, you don't want to spend time answering questions to the police or the inland revenue.

The way round it is to deposit the cash into 2 different accounts assuming you have accounts with more than 1 bank. (_;)

oh it's one of those £50,000 notes going around, I picked up a few myself from someone wearing rather cheap looking ripped clothes, I only paid £5k cash so yours seems a bit expensive

I guess you're selling to a total idiot

even if the cash is real he could be money laundering, depending on what you're selling, and you don't want to be involved in that

best thing to do is go to his bank and go to the cashier and get him to do a transfer to your account that way no notes are involved....

Thanks for all the genuine replies and advice, went ahead with it today and paid into account,

As suspected, the buyer came with money in shoeboxes but the notes were all accepted by cashier, had to fill in a due dilligence form to confirm the source of funds and the money is now in my account

Thanks again

13th Nov 2013

It's your account its being paid into and so you who will be looked at for possible money laundering. Cash clears immediately into your account, but if funds are found to have come from proceeds of crime then efforts may be made by the police to recover them. Get all his details and see some ID, but if he's genuine he should do a bank transfer and then he can answer all the money laundering questions when he pays the cash into his account. I used to work in a bank, but left a couple of years ago so things might have changed a bit.

so what exactly did you put down as the source of the deposit?

it will down to you to prove the legitimacy but i guess you have confirmed proof of the buyers name and address.
